It doesn't know if it's talking about a set, a function, a limit, or just squiggly lines. It says the "surface" (area) is 1/2, but doesn't mention that the lobe areas are 1/5, 1/10, 1/20, 1/20, 1/40, 1/40, ... . It says that the bounding box [-1/3 - i/3, 7/6 + 2i/3] is just a limit that the curve doesn't reach. In fact it intersects the sides of the box in Cantor sets: Do[If[Re[Drag[t]] == -1/3, Print[t -> Drag[t]]], {t, 1/15, 2/15, 1/15/2^12}] 1/15->-(1/3) 4097/61440->-(1/3)+I/192 4111/61440->-(1/3)+I/64 257/3840->-(1/3)+I/48 271/3840->-(1/3)+I/16 4337/61440->-(1/3)+(13 I)/192 4351/61440->-(1/3)+(5 I)/64 17/240->-(1/3)+I/12 31/240->-(1/3)+I/4 7937/61440->-(1/3)+(49 I)/192 7951/61440->-(1/3)+(17 I)/64 497/3840->-(1/3)+(13 I)/48 511/3840->-(1/3)+(5 I)/16 8177/61440->-(1/3)+(61 I)/192 8191/61440->-(1/3)+(21 I)/64 2/15->-(1/3)+I/3 Do[If[Re[Drag[t]] == 7/6, Print[t -> Drag[t]]], {t, 29/30 - 1/240, 59/60 + 1/240, 1/15/2^9}] 29/30->7/6-I/6 929/960->7/6-I/8 943/960->7/6-I/24 59/60->7/6 Do[If[Im[Drag[t]] == -1/3, Print[t -> Drag[t]]], {t, 13/15, 14/15, 1/15/2^9}] 13/15->2/3-I/3 3329/3840->11/16-I/3 3343/3840->35/48-I/3 209/240->3/4-I/3 223/240->11/12-I/3 3569/3840->15/16-I/3 3583/3840->47/48-I/3 14/15->1-I/3 Do[If[Im[Drag[t]] == 2/3, Print[t -> Drag[t]]], {t, 4/15, 8/15, 1/15/2^9}] 4/15->(2 I)/3 257/960->1/24+(2 I)/3 271/960->1/8+(2 I)/3 17/60->1/6+(2 I)/3 31/60->1/2+(2 I)/3 497/960->13/24+(2 I)/3 511/960->5/8+(2 I)/3 8/15->2/3+(2 I)/3 Rewriting it would be a lot of work, probably wasted due to Wikipedia's fossilization. --rwg Hmm, since it lives in the complex plane, it's area is pure imaginary.
